Covers of Dylan songs

For a few months in the first half of 2018 readers of this website, and of the Untold Dylan facebook page were invited to submit their nominations for the best cover version of a Dylan song.

Below we publish the full list of nominations that we have so far listed, in alphabetical order. (If I have missed a nomination out, please don’t shout at me, but just post it again at in the comments at the foot of this page and I’ll add it to the next update). One group of nominations that came in while I was compiling this list is shown at the end. We’ll be finding copies of these songs and integrating them into the list later.

What is particularly interesting and quite unexpected is that hardly any cover versions were nominated by more than one person. It seems that everyone who wants to make a choice has their own choice to make – which I love, because this activity has introduced me to so many versions of Dylan songs I have never heard before.

If you want to nominate one or more songs please do so below, showing (obviously) the song and the performer. If we can find a copy on line we’ll list it along with that group at the end not yet added to the list.

A thousand thank yous to everyone who so willingly took part and showed an interest in this project. This page will be listed on the home page of the site so it is easy to find should you ever wish to come back to it.
